Well, I have been burned by MH's sizing before (I'm 6'0"/165 lbs and it's all cut too short for me in the torso), but with rave reviews and the closeout on last year's model going on, I gave it one more shot. Boy, am I glad that I did! The jacket has a distinctive look with the "monkey phur" that may put some off. However, it is incredibly warm! Also, the warmth-to-weight ratio is great, this thing is so light and fits the body so well I forget that I'm wearing it; it stretches in all the right places. One thing: the cuffs are made with stretch material, and don't seem very durable...but only time will tell. As far as the sizing goes, I always go with Medium from TNF, Patagonia, and Marmot, but I got a Large here. Fits like a dream!!
